ADT failure
We saw my Dad's MO on 5/23. Over the course of 4 weeks my dad's PSA moved from 1.46 to 2.14, He said we need to be on Zytiga for three months before we can deem it a failure, but just like Xtandi, it appears my dad had limited help with it. We have talked about the next steps, chemo and pluvicto. My

Pre-approvals under Medicare
I have regular Medicare plus a supplement and Part D. I'm just starting to research this, but figured many of you have already dealt with this issue. Does Medicare (not Medicare Advantage) do pre-approvals for things like Provenge, chemo, PSMA PET scan, etc.? None of my medical institutions seem to seek

Restless Legs
Hi all - curious if any of you are experiencing pretty intense restless legs? I am a triplet therapy patient and am through the chemo and radiation (maybe quad therapy:)) so wondering if somehow Darolutamide is contributing to this? I also take a statin, a reflux pill, vitamin D, flomax, and cialis

Mom's ovarian cancer spread to brain
Hi all,My mom was diagnosed with 3c ovarian cancer 2 years ago. It was inoperable and she has had 6-7 lines of chemo, most recently Enhertu. After the first 2 cycles, her Ca125 dropped drastically and then increased after her 4th. We found out this week that her cancer has likely spread to her brain.
